Director General of Police R R Swain said on Saturday that 291 terrorist associates were detained, 201 overground workers were booked under the Public Safety Act, and 76 terrorists—including 55 foreigners—were neutralised in Jammu and Kashmir this year.
According to Swain, there are currently only 31 local terrorists in the Union Territory, which is a record low.
He said that there were 14 civilian deaths at the hands of terrorists in 2023 and that incidents of terror had decreased by 63% from the previous year. Terrorist recruitment had also decreased, with fewer calls for strikes and acts of stone-throwing occurring over time.
